Twitch streamer Tony "RSGloryAndGold" Winchester recently passed away after succumbing to brain cancer. He was a maxed RuneScape player and leader of the clan Glory and Gold.
The streamer was aged 69 at the time of his demise and managed to amass a dedicated fan base before his tragic departure. At the time of writing, his Twitch channel has over 351K followers. News of his death was first broken yesterday by his family through his official Twitter account.
They also posted a link to a YouTube video, uploaded to Tony's channel, to briefly document his last living memories and details of his disease.
According to the narrator of the video, RSGloryAndGold passed out without suffering from a great deal of pain due to being under morphine. It was also revealed that the cancer had spread to his spinal cord and organs, which paralyzed him.
Tony started streaming on Twitch in 2015 aged 62. His debut stream was considered to be a successful one as he went on to gain over 1K followers. Following that, Tony experienced immediate growth on his channel. The following year, the streamer became a Twitch partner.
In addition to his success on the purple platform, Tony also operated a YouTube channel. At the time of his death, his channel had amassed over 220K subscribers. His first video on the Google-owned platform was uploaded in 2016. His initial content was mostly subjected to gameplay videos and walkthroughs.
His rapid growth online also attracted the attention of other social media stars. In 2016, online news reporter Daniel "Keemstar" falsely accused the streamer of being an alleged p**ophile. However, his claims were proven to be false as the real perpetrator only shared some similarities in appearance with Tony.
